This month's novel is 'The Wednesday Wars' and it its about the Holling Hoodhood's life in 1967, when the Vietnam war is happening. Holling's dad owns the Hoodhood and Associates and he is very sensitive about it. All he thinks about is his company. Even when Holling said he thinks that Mrs. Baker hates his guts, all he said was about his company. But it turned out that Mrs Baker did not actually hates Holling's guts. Holling doesn't go to Temple Beth-El or neither Saint Adelberts, so he stays with Mrs Baker on wednesday afternoons. Holling studies Shakespeare with Mrs Baker and she says that Shakespeare is trying to express in his poems this:
That we are made for more than power. That we are made more than our desires.
Thanks to the Shakespeare plays that Holling have read with Mrs Baker, Holling gets to be on a stage that shows one of the Shakespeare plays, The tempest. Holling gets to be Ariel the fairy and his costume was weird. He hoped that nobody in his school came to the show that he was going to be on but Mrs Baker told everyone in his class to come to the show.
